Fritos For Breakfast

Okay, I’m publicly admitting it, and I’m ashamed to do so.  I’m letting Nick have Fritos for breakfast.  He came to me with the bag, a bowl, and a smile.  Of course, he already finished the bowl of blueberries I gave him, so Fritos aren’t the only thing he’s eaten for breakfast.
